Happy New Year to all here on the forum,here's hoping that 2008 is full of love,light,laughter...recently doing my own reading on the various catastrophes that could await us if more action is not taken re:global warming,e.t.c,and what with Environmental Crusaders like Al Gore,e.t.c,alarming the mass population with dire statistics,warnings and ways of modifying our relative "Carbon-Footprint",it occured to me that those of us that are either LOL,are transitioning or simply eat periodically just for the sheer pleasure of it are truly part of the entire emerging paradigm of reducing humans' "Carbon-Footprint" as the saving of resources has got to have some sort of impact in relation to this cause,as the less people eat,or the less people NEED to eat and then eat just for the pleasure of it,MUST have a tremendous impact on the amount of resources and therefore a massive reduction in the emission of methane gasses,toxicity in the atmosphere as a result of food production,animal feeding,e.t.c, - so this goes beyond the efficacy that pure Vegetarianism has in reducing the general pollution associated with all sorts of food-production!!! just imaginge the further reduction in the pollution of our beautiful world as more individuals consciously and actively reduce their dependance on the world's resources?And yes,i know that Jasmuheen has covered this in much more detail in her fabuluos books and manuals,but the LOL paradigm in relation to reducing Carbon emissions really made me think of all of us here,and how we should feel proud that we are actually and actively involved in this shift in consciousness that is currently happening all around the planet - that's all,but please feel free to respond here,as this could be another interesting debate to get our teeth into,so to speak!!!Love and light to you ALL - Hara Namah XXXOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Hi Hara - Thanks for that. Yes indeed LOL can play a big part in reducing global warming levels and generally making us more environmental friendly. Imagine the environmental benefits of the masses Living on Light - it is huge! Imagine no supermarkets and no food factories, no mcdonald's and the like!, no hospitals (as people stay healthy). What a saving in the carbon gases produced at the power stations alone to keep these establishments running. They must use huge amounts of power when you think about it on a global level. Switching to alternative natural sources of power is the way to go I am not saying here that I envision no one eating and there's no outlets where people barter for or buy some form of physical nourishment.
Just that society will be much more civilised concerning the production of food, for example the elimination of cans, cardboard packaging (let's save trees) plastic wrappers, plastic shopping bags connected to the junk- devitalised food sold in shopping centres. So much of this because we live in a society addicted to food and have lost our true source of nourishment which is Love!

Hi there dear brother and All - and just recently i read AND heard on the T.V that some Scientists are predicting a Global Famine at some point in the near future,as the resources are severely dwindling - HELLO!!! - if the powers that be had taken heed earlier and eradicated third world debt and spread the resources around for all to share perhaps there would have been more for the needy and the poor to eat over the last few decades!?!?But of course as always with Universal Law there are many factors involved here - Karma,lessons,initiations,e.t.c, - and with the Solar System aligning closer and closer to the "Galactic Equator" the vibrations are increasing exponentially,especially ever since 1998,and what with our physical bodies mutating deeper and further,i actually believe that it is a matter of time before "Physical Nutrition" becomes a simple choice,as it alreday is for many people around the world.But not for a minute do i think and/or believe that Pranic Nourishers/Breatharians,e.t.c are the chosen ones or any such idiocy as that,just that the time is soon upon us to make clearer choices as a species,that's all...excuse me if this is sounding a little "trippy" or anything like that,just that recently i have been seriously considering where the human race is metamorphosing to and what service means to other individuals on a daily basis,the intensity of the energies that are becoming more obvious almost daily also,and other such factors...anyway,hope that all of you are well,healthy,happy,e.t.c,and take care,love and light - Hara Namah XXXOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

You have said it very well Hara, Of course the masses moving into the pranic nourishment pradigm will be a potential solution to world hunger, famine, aspects of global warming etc, although this may be many decades away I admit. how long it takes is really up to individuals and how wiling they are to embrace positive change and a new way of being on this planet. Humanity must assess its relationship to food, it is simply intolerable that thousands are malnourished and dying of hunger in third world countries while so many in the so called developed world eat far more than they need just to satisfy their palate and create a massive drain on the worlds resources through their addiction to food most of which is totally deleterious to their health. There comes a time when as pranic nourishers we look past just the wonderful personal benefits that brings and become more altruistic and look at how the masses, even just going to a diet of light, live raw food will bring massive sustainability benefits. I've written elsewhere on this forum about the planetary benefits of Divine Nourishment which are enormous so I won't repeat myself here. Anyway thanks for all the recent writings on this forum Hara which are quite inspiring!
